Wasp invasion on our pergolas

There are two different varieties that are building nests all over!

These seem to be invasive and we are trying to get rid of them. The city of CT can be contacted for removal.

[Issi Bannerman]

Oh, I guess you really need to get rid of these! They make a great photo though!

[Ulrika]

My oldest grandson who is nearly 13 has a phobia of wasps, he would even freak out looking at this picture, me on the other hand I don't love nasty insects bugs and reptiles but I am fascinated by them and love to photograph them! I hope you get them sorted.. they are pretty nasty things

[Susan Wakely]

Such a shame that they are deemed as pests as they do so much good. Saying that I wouldn’t want to live in close proximity to them. Great detail.

[winghong_ho]

Need to do something about invasion. It is a great shot, nevertheless.

[Valerie Chesney]

Fascinating & detailed capture...
I wouldn't want to be near them though..

[Mags]

Yikes! Cool shot!

[Casablanca]

Eek!

[Pam]

That looks scary!

[Linda Godwin]

They have a nasty sting. You made a great photo opportunity out of it though

[katy]

You’re a photo of them is fabulous. I hope you didn’t get too close

[Kitty Hawke]

OMG.......I would be moving out pronto !

[Milanie]

Wow - such a close up - scary looking

[Lou Ann]

Oh dear! Yes you don’t want to dodge them when you are outside.

[Beryl Lloyd]

Ooh my! not the most pleasant to have to invade your garden!

[Nina Ganci]

I know that there are beekeepers companies that will remove bee hives for you, maybe contact one of them to direct you

[Helge E. Storheim]

Great shot. Good thing you had a long lens to photograph them with :-)

[LManning (Laura)]

Terrific details, but I hope they don't cause you problems!

[gloria jones]

Neat capture

[Vesna]

Looks scary!

[Heather]

A great shot of the wasps and their comb. Fav! But I hope you are successful in getting rid of them.

[narayani]

I’m guessing you had a big lens to take this! They give a nasty sting

[George]

Fascinating.

[Rick]

Great shot. Yeah, those need to be gotten rid of.

[Kathy A]

Great shot, nice detail but yes you want them gone.

[Christina]

They are such a nuisance here too! Lovely detail in the shot.

[Ann H. LeFevre]

Too bad you can't relocate them- but they'd find their way back. Excellent close up!

[Diana]

@kjarn @christinav @olivetreeann Thanks so much :-)

[Steve Chappell]

Oh no! I hope you're able to get rid of them
